NU/0/15252 |

NAM, Unprotecting, 0/100, 15252 Multi-Channel Unit |
|
Problem Description
The Unprotected Network Adaptor Module (NAM) 0/100 has a 'B' label on the side connecting to the Client Layer Interface Port (CLIP) board.
As an unprotected CLIP board only has a receiver on the the A-side of the CLIP, connecting the NAM 0/100 'B' fiber to the CLIP 'B' side results in no traffic.
The unprotected CLIP 'B' input does not have a receiver.
Background
An Engineering Change Order (ECO) (C049898) was issued to correct this problem. The resolution was that the current NAM 0/100 label 'B' was replaced by 'A'.
Note: The current documentation correctly states how to connect the NAM 0/100 fiber to the CLIP. See Section 3.5 ONS15252 MCU Module installation (Non-ATO) > Procedure: Install the Network Adaptation Module.
For an unprotected channel, connect the optical-fiber jumper cable labeled A to the A-side MU adapter on the associated CLIP module.
Problem Symptoms
If the NAM 0/100 'B' fiber is connected to the CLIP 'B' side there is no traffic.
This situation should only occur when:
-
a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) is replaced in the ONS15252 chassis.
-
a system is non-ATO and assembled by the customer.
Workaround/Solution
In order to resolve the issue, the NAM 0/100 'B' labelled side should always be connected to the unprotected CLIP 'A' side.

How To Identify Hardware Levels
All affected NAM 0/100 can be identified, since they carry the 'B' label on the side to connect to the CLIP card (instead of the 'A' label).
